I bought this Mini because Lorgar of all the Primarchs had a real choice and went to Chaos willingly. Being rejected by the Emperor and trying to save Mankind might have been the start but the choices he made fully knowing. How does such a person/being look like after that decision - like a demon, like a madman, like a killer? I think when he made the decision he felt like he had to be the father of mankind that his father could not be.
So when I thought about painting him I wanted to give him a stern but very human look - someone you could like and respect. But also there should be a hint of the madness and evil.
The face looks very realistic and human. The books show him as a scholar though some books probably are better left unread.
The light from the candles and the mace were mainly me experimenting with OSL but I actually think the contrast between warmth and coldness support the mood I wanted to achieve.
You can find the tutorial on how I painted the face here!
